Room was clean. Easy and fast check in. Great location and close to food and shopping. Refrigerator was nice and cold. Will stay again. Only 2 pillows for each bed. We did not ask if more were available.

I was willing to give it a chance.

I was willing to give it a chance, but the toilet hadn’t been cleaned, hair on the floor, and the stench was so bad we left at 4:45 am. Location was great and workers were friendly but overall it mad me sad

Royce

Liked: Cleanliness
Check in was quick, the staff was friendly. The room was okay, but mainly because the bad was comfortable and I was exhausted. Otherwise, regular maintenance is clearly not done. The toilet paper holder wouldn’t hold a roll. Towel rack was barely attached and the place hasn’t been painted in decades. It was moderately clean. You get what you pay for and $35 was about the right price.

Great location to Baylor and convenient to downtown. But property was neglected. Mold in tub around faucet, musty smell, small stains on sheets. Breakfast was very low supply, never staff in the office. Ice machine was a plus, unlimited. Lack of vending machines other than sodas.

Nothing displeasing about the property. It’s decent. Just not for the price we paid. The door to our room looked like it had been shimmied or broke into at some point in its existence. When we closed the door and locked it, there was still a gap to where I could see out. Just kept it locked and covered it up with a towel. Rooms are clean and don’t have any residual smell.

Absolutely disgusting. Stains on the sheets and towels. Floors were wet. Manager seemed shocked when I said I would not stay here and asked for a refund. Do not stay here. I’m surprised the health department hasn’t shut this hovel down.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was dirty, bathtub had hair and spiders in it. TV did not work. Deadbolt was broken had to use the chair with cigaret stain in it to block the door. At 5am a homeless person tried to enter my room. Coffee that was offered in the morning was cold and no lids for the cups. Was already scheduled to stay there for Baylor's parents weekend in the fall and cancelled and rescheduled elsewhere. Great location, terrible experience.
